Compact handheld terminals present a specific challenge for protective cases: the smaller the device, the less margin there is for fit errors. On the PAX-D190, the rounded grip edges and tight interface spacing meant that a generic mold would produce uneven wall thickness or block access to ports. We treated the terminal's curved profile as the starting point, mapping the grip edges and interface openings before designing any mold geometry.
Wall thickness was balanced across the curved surfaces to keep the case slim while maintaining adequate protection at the corners. The anti-slip texture was engraved into the mold cavity at the contact points where traction matters during one-handed use, rather than applied uniformly across the surface. The silicone compound was tuned with UV stabilizers and anti-aging additives to resist yellowing and surface hardening under prolonged light exposure. This is a brand-customer customization case, not a product for sample sale. Brands developing similar protective solutions can begin with a validation batch of 100 pieces, with all tooling, molding, and inspection completed in-house.
1. Curved-Profile Mold Design for Compact Terminals : The D190's rounded grip edges are mapped before tooling, with mold geometry built to follow the curve rather than flatten it. This keeps the case slim and comfortable while maintaining protection at the corners.
2. Wall Thickness Balanced Across Rounded Surfaces : Curved bodies tend to produce uneven wall thickness if mold geometry is not adjusted. We verify thickness across the profile to maintain a slim feel without thin spots that could tear or wear through.
3.Texture Engraved at Contact Points for One-Handed Use : Instead of applying a uniform texture across the entire surface, we position the engraved grip pattern where the fingers naturally rest, keeping the rest of the case visually clean.
